Great offers available for the SchoolNet SA conference 5-7 October 2017

The SchoolNet SA conference covers a number of themes that focus on digital learning in the Foundation, GET and FET schooling phases. Delegates can expect to attend three days of professional development, hands-on workshops and inspiring keynotes – all of which are all covered in the ticket price, inclusive of teas and lunches and a special birthday celebration event.


Whilst we are sure that the conference is going to be excellent value for money, we know that many schools battle to fund professional development for their teachers, and teachers often struggle to fund conference attendance themselves. To try to make the SchoolNet SA conference affordable to as many teachers as possible we are able to make the following offers:

Buy four – get one free
SchoolNet SA is offering schools, organisations or groups of teachers who would like to attend the conference discounted tickets. For every four tickets you buy at the same time you will get one free – or put another way the five tickets you book at the same time will cost R800 each instead of R1000 per person.  This offer is available to schools, educational institutions, or groups of five teachers who book and pay for the tickets at the same time.  Please book your tickets online through Quicket and pay by credit card or contact kumari@schoolnet.org.za if you require an invoice. 

Early Bird offer extended – tickets are still R1 000
Tickets to attend the SchoolNet SA can still be purchased online through Quicket for R1 000 each (including VAT) – please do get your ticket soon though as the spaces are filling up fast.

Sponsored Tickets
SchoolNet SA will be offering 10 deserving SchoolNet SA members a free ticket each to attend the SchoolNet SA conference. Please note that this sponsorship will only be for the cost of the conference ticket entry – and you will be required to make and cover the costs of your own travel and accommodation arrangements. If you would like to be considered for one of the 10 sponsored tickets – please fill in THIS FORM with your details and a brief motivation as to why you would like to attend the conference by Friday 8 September 2017.
